Abstract

Patient safety has become a global health priority, closely linked to the quality of medical services and the legal framework governing healthcare systems. This study aims to juridically and comparatively examine the regulatory frameworks of patient safety across various jurisdictions and analyze the contrasting approaches between developed and developing countries. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, data were collected from scientific journals, international health organizations such as the World Health Organization, government regulations, and previous empirical studies. The findings indicate that developed nations have implemented more structured patient safety regulations, characterized by mandatory, privileged incident reporting systems and legal protection for healthcare professionals (whistleblowers). In stark contrast, developing countries, including Indonesia, face persistent challenges related to limited resources, weak legal enforcement, and a prevalent blame culture that hinders open reporting. The comparative analysis highlights the critical need for legal reform in Indonesia to strengthen patient safety regulations, particularly through the revision of the hospital law, the integration of telemedicine into the legal framework, and the establishment of a transparent, protected reporting system. Ultimately, strengthening legal frameworks is essential to ensure that patient safety becomes a fundamental, enforceable, and systemic element of health systems worldwide.

Abstract

The rise of dental procedures performed by non-dentists, especially high-risk aesthetic services such as illegal braces and veneer installations, has created significant legal and public health concerns in Indonesia. This study provides a juridical assessment of unauthorized dental practice and evaluates the effectiveness of law enforcement through the illegal veneer case in Karanganyar based on Decision Number 51/Pid.Sus/2019/PN.Krg). Using a normative juridical method with statutory and case approaches, it analyzes the hierarchy and consistency of relevant regulations, including the health law, medical practice law, and the Ministry of Health regulation on dental technicians. Guided by Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of law enforcement effectiveness, the findings show that such practices remain widespread due to inconsistent application of administrative and criminal sanctions, weak coordination among law-enforcement and health authorities, and low public legal awareness. The Karanganyar decision illustrates how lenient penalties and the absence of automatic administrative measures, such as closing the illegal practice undermine deterrence. The study concludes that effective enforcement of health law requires stronger institutional integration and improved legal culture. It proposes developing an integrated sanction system that links criminal rulings with mandatory administrative penalties to enhance deterrence and curb illegal dental practice nationwide.

Abstract

The application of restorative justice in medical disputes in Indonesia faces significant structural obstacles. This study examines how healthcare professionals experience and perceive restorative justice, analyzes its vulnerabilities through the frameworks of responsive law and critical legal studies, and proposes a neutral, proportional model of dispute resolution, particularly through specialized medical adjudication, to address regulatory gaps that enable extortion risks and legal injustice. Using a phenomenological empirical-qualitative approach combined with statutory and critical legal analysis, the research evaluates the practical implementation of the Health Law (Law Number 17 of 2023). The findings show that restorative justice helps reduce adversarial litigation and protects the professional reputation of healthcare providers, who overwhelmingly prefer mediation to court proceedings. However, the lack of clear procedural limits and standardized restitution guidelines leaves practitioners vulnerable to misuse and disproportionate claims, causing the mechanism, intended to promote responsiveness, to drift toward repressive outcomes. This shift intensifies socio-economic inequalities and media-driven pressures, undermining legal neutrality and substantive justice. The study recommends the establishment of precise regulatory standards, independent oversight, and specialized medical adjudication mechanisms to ensure that restorative justice operates fairly, effectively, and in accordance with objective medical and legal principles.

Abstract

Organizations increasingly face performance challenges marked by declining turnover and unmet performance targets, highlighting the need to better understand the factors that influence employee productivity. The objective is to analyze how leadership style and work environment impact employee performance and determine whether rewards moderate these relationships. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed census sampling of all 45 employees. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The findings reveal that leadership style positively and significantly affects employee performance, while the work environment shows no significant direct effect. Importantly, rewards moderate both relationships, strengthening the influence of leadership style on performance and enhancing the work environment’s impact on performance. In conclusion, effective leadership combined with appropriate reward systems significantly drives employee performance, whereas environmental factors require reward mechanisms to become meaningful performance drivers. The study also contributes theoretically by confirming the role of rewards as a key moderator that strengthens leadership performance relationships. These findings imply that organizations should enhance leadership effectiveness and align reward systems to ensure work environment improvements translate into better employee performance.

Abstract

Bonuses in the Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) system represent the income earned by each distributor. The purpose of providing bonuses by MLM companies is to show appreciation for each member who is able to expand their network and market products. This form of appreciation is why each distributor’s income varies, as it is based on performance, achievements, profits generated, education, and closing points, which differ for each distributor. Bonus income is measured through distributor performance, including the sales amount and inviting new distributors to join Tiens. The aim of this research is to determine the factors that influence the bonus income of Tiens distributors in Malang City. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data were analyzed using  Structural  Equation  Modeling  (SEM)  with SmartPLS. The results show that the variables of sales performance, network/team, and understanding of the marketing plan influence the intervening variable, which is closing points, and the dependent variable, bonus income. This research has implications for the Tiens or MLM company policy in determining bonus calculations for distributors, and also measuring bonus income as a target for distributor achievement.

Abstract

Employee performance plays a vital role in determining organizational success, especially in public service institutions where effectiveness and service delivery directly influence public satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality on employee performance. The research applies a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique, involving all 45 civil servants as respondents. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. The analysis included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption testing, and simple linear regression supported by t-tests and coefficient of determination (R²) analysis. The findings reveal that service quality has a significant positive effect on employee performance, with the R² value showing that 48.1% of the variation in performance is explained by service quality. The results highlight that improving service quality can effectively enhance employee productivity and accountability. Therefore, public institutions should strengthen their service-oriented culture and management practices to optimize employee performance and ensure better public service outcomes.

Abstract

Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia have grown rapidly, yet their profitability remains lower and more volatile than that of conventional banks. This condition raises questions about the role of intellectual capital in creating sustainable financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of value added capital employed, value added human capital, and value added structural capital on the financial performance of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia over the period 2015–2024. The research used a quantitative approach with monthly data from all Islamic commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority of Indonesia. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after fulfilling classical assumption tests and handling outliers. The results show that the three components of intellectual capital simultaneously have a significant effect on return on assets and explain 88.9 percent of its variation. Partially, value added capital employed and value added human capital have a significant negative effect, while value added structural capital has a significant and strongly positive effect. These findings indicate that during the observation period, rapid asset expansion and high human capital costs tended to reduce short-term profitability, whereas investment in systems, technology, and organizational infrastructure became the main driver of profit growth.

Abstract

Employee performance is crucial for service quality and competitiveness in the hospitality industry, yet many hotels still face challenges in optimizing it. This study aims to examine the influence of transactional leadership, work motivation, and job satisfaction on the performance of employees. The research adopted a quantitative approach using the census method on all 49 permanent employees as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results reveal that work motivation and job satisfaction have positive and significant effects on employee performance, whereas transactional leadership shows no significant effect. Work motivation is the most dominant factor, followed by job satisfaction. These findings imply that internal factors such as employee enthusiasm and contentment with the work environment are more influential than a leadership style that relies heavily on rewards and punishments in small-scale hotel settings. Hotel management is recommended to prioritize programs that strengthen employee motivation and satisfaction through fair compensation, recognition, career development, and supportive work atmosphere, while reducing over-reliance on rigid transactional mechanisms. This approach is expected to enhance overall employee performance and guest satisfaction in the long term.

Abstract

Tax revenue performance is a key indicator of fiscal effectiveness and relies on strong administrative functions and taxpayer behavior. This study seeks to examine the impact of tax audits, supervision, and taxpayer compliance on tax revenue performance, while explicitly assessing whether tax officer training moderates these relationships. The study employs a saturated sampling technique and applies a quantitative causality design using multiple regression and moderated regression analysis. The findings indicate that tax audits have a positive but insignificant effect on tax revenue performance, whereas supervision and taxpayer compliance show positive and significant effects. Additionally, tax officer training is found to positively and significantly moderate the effects of audits, supervision, and taxpayer compliance, suggesting that these variables become more influential when supported by higher levels of training. In conclusion, the study highlights supervisory quality and taxpayer compliance as primary drivers of tax revenue performance. The significant moderating role of tax officer training underscores the importance of strengthening human resource capacity to enhance the overall effectiveness of tax administration.
